Bound Pickaxe Strike - Master Gatherer Edition

Aliniel

I just picked up this customised action and it's really nice looking. But, I was immediately disappointed to discover it doesn't have a Master Gatherer mode. Basically, even with 50% increased gathering speed, the animation takes full 2 seconds and continue even after you leave the node. This is especially bad when picking up a survey as the animation gets really mixed up. It actually queues up and your character keeps on the animation long after you leave the nodes.

I asked in guild and they people seemed happy with it and unaware of this "bug". I even rechecked the store and the animations of both versions are exactly the same in terms of duration. Is this intended?

i only really notice it at all when im looting multiple ore nodes in quick succession such as with a survey, outside of that i either dont notice it, or it doesnt bother me at all lol

a lot of the alternate harvesting animations when you have maxed out master gatherer the animations still sometimes "keep going" for a little bit after you finish harvesting, this starts to compound/get more buggy if you are harvesting a lot in quick succession

when harvesting 1 single node, you can start to move again before the animation is totally finished, which gets buggy if your animation is still finishing up when you start harvesting a new node too quickly (especially if its the same node type using the same animation)
